Rules
- Cup: Clans will be seeded and placed in a playoff tree, all based on secret votes by all captains. If there is a tie in points, the admins will decide. If there are more clans than 16 to participate, a preliminary round amond bottom seeded clans will be played. All clans will play 4 matches. There are no divisions, all clans are welcome to play, however, if a div3 clan is to play a div1 clan, they can "throw the towel" and give WO. This can be done only once in the whole event. Clan division assumptions are taken from the last EQL cup.
- Match procedure: All games are BO3, excluding finals and third place game that are BO5.
- Maps: SCHLOSS (May 2024), e1m2 (September 2024), DM2 (October 2024), dm3 (November 2024).
- Server settings: Standard settings set by command /4on4. A "QW ETERNAL" tag is highly recommended for ease of pausing the game. Each team can pause the game maximum 3 times per game (not per map!)
- Reporting: Report the game with screenshots and mvd demos in #reports-games on QWEternal discord
- Clans and players: State your lineup when signing up. A player can no longer play in more than 1 clan as multiclanning is forbidden. Faking and changing the nickname is also forbidden for the sake of the Śniegowy bot - you must play under the same name you are listed during signups.
- Points allocation: points will be allocated before the next cup begins. Here's the point allocation system for a knockout tournament with classification matches:
Champion: 32 points Runner-up: 28 points 3rd place: 24 points 4th place: 20 points 5th place: 18 points 6th place: 16 points 7th place: 14 points 8th place: 12 points 9th place: 10 points 10th place: 8 points 11th place: 6 points 12th place: 5 points 13th place: 4 points 14th place: 3 points 15th place: 2 points 16th place: 1 point
Summary of points added up from all cups will determine the Eternal Champions.
Ping
- The primary driver for server selection is to find a server where the teams have similar average pings (+/- 2ms) and to minimize that average.
- The pings should be the most even for the two teams and measures like cl_delay_packet or proxy rerouting to balance pings should be employed. A team with a higher average ping than their opponent on a given server may request the opponent to do this (or change server to somewhere with lower average ping).
- Matches must be played on EU servers.
- Antilag 2 is the default option. However, if a team requests antilag 1, the other team should comply. To check the currect antilag version, type /serverinfo when on a server. To change antilag, type /antilag in the console.
- Servers that are providing significant packetloss that cannot be avoided by proxy rerouting should generally be avoided unless both teams agree to play there.
- If players still can't agree on a server, please contact admins about it. Admin decision is final and refusal to play on a server designated by neutral admins will be considered a WalkOver loss.
